In Hollywood an Oscar means much more today than just an award for cinematic achievement, It is the sun and stars and Alad- din's lamp lumped into one rigid, impassive, gold figurine. It can make careers, And in cold im- persona} box office cash it is quite literally worth a million. 'ping 321 pages of ads ran before nominations and 217'% between nominations and awards night, writes John C. Waugh in the Christian Science Monitor. Nobody in the Academy really objects to this. It's not the quan- tity of ads that irks, but their sometimes offensive quality, - "We don't really care how many ads a person wants to run urging Academy members to see his picture," says one high-rank- | | | She Prefers Love To Liberty The family of Paulius Leonas would never forget that reunion at Chicago Midway Airport two short years ago.

Back in 1927 the Academy Awards 'were established as a family af- fair, The idea was that the award ceremonies would be quiet, un- pretentious occasions in which performers would be honored for outstanding achievement by a jury of their peers. There was never any intention or expectation then that it would become newsworthy. Motion pic- tures in those days were held in low repute, widely regarded as mostly frivolous timekillers, in- tellectually only a cut above pro- fessional baseball and perhaps a cut below the Chautauqua, the Oscars in the cinematic world the Oscars free from taint. No award in the cinematic world is so enduring or so dearly covet- ed. And this would not be so if the winners were determined by full page ads in Daily Variety. There is little doubt, however, that an Oscar can skyrocket ca- reers and fill pocketbooks, And nobody in the Academy really objects to that either. An Oscar is widely conceded to be worth an extra $1,000,000 at the box office for whatever pic- ture wins one, "And if an agent had a client who had won an Academy Award or a nomination," adds ceremony, ha found himse If in still another controversy over his job on a The Institute of Journalists the National Union of Journalists. expressed *' profound regret' that he : London newspaper. had joined another union, HR ONICLES "GINGERFARM Khrushchev and the American press," said Paulius, "This is a Joy.

The most obvious outward evi- ...dence that people do indeed struggle hard to get it, or at least to be nominated for it--which is almost as good for egos and ca- reers as winning--is the adver- tising campaign hopefuls wage in Hollywood trade publications, One observer who has foilowed the Academy since its earliest days estimates that the number of ads run each year in the trades has increased 10 times in the past 10 years. ' Only five years ago, before nominations, 77 full pages of ads appefred in the trades calling attention to potential awards win- ning performances or pictures.
